In Union Is Strength.

There is power ip organization, and
inasmuch as other classes are thor
oughly organized to advance their own
interests by cooperating together, is
it not the height of folly for farmers
to suppose for moment that they can
sustain themselves single-handed in
an unorganized condition? They are
simply at the mercy of organized
power, and must yield obedience to
the dictations and demands of those
who are organized, and pay the ex-
acted tribute, just or unjust, as it may
be, without recourse. Seventy five
thousand soldiers properly organized,
drilled and disciplined, will put to
flight one million who may under
take to fight single-handed and
unorganized. 1t is equally
as fruitless for farmers to undertake to
cope, single-handed and unorganized,
with organized bodies in the race of
life; they cannot hold their own, nor
sustain their rights nor hold their
equality among men until they, too, be-
come as thoroughly organized as
others with whom they deal and COM
pete in the affairs of Aife. This is a
progressive age. We live in an age Of
progress, an age of speed and rapid
advancement by steam and electricity,
in an age of struggle for wealth, pow
er and control. History teaches, and
experience has demonstrated, that tn,
class best organized makes the great
est advancement, and becomes tn,
victor in the contest -Mortinaor White
head, Lecturer National Grange.

gently loosened up with forks to
allow the air free access through
them until noon, by which time

clover hay into cock, but haul it
in direct from the winrow. The
curing is then done in the winrow

be used on clover hay, especially
when putting in the NOW. Salt
draws moisture from the atmos-
phere, and az a consequence will
cause the hay the more readily to
heat and become musty.
1t is always best, however, to
have water proof caps on hand IN
case you should find necessity for
using them, in which case good
bright clover hay can be made in
almost any kind of weather. To
make them, waterproof material
is of course the best, but unbleach-
ed coarse cotton will answer the
purpose almost equally we'll. If
made of the latter, procure it five
feet wide, i. e., sheeting cotton;
tear it into five feet lengths, and
with a sewing machine, hem in
a good stout cord along each corn
er. Then make four pins, some
eighteen inches in length, of any
kind of hard wood for each cap,
and, after adjusting these cover
ings in place, pin down each corn
er securely to the ground, to
remain SO until all danger of rain

Curing Clover Hay.

Clover hay, when properly cured
and taken care of, is one of the
finest articles of forage that can
be grown, but when poorly made
and musty is not fit for a horse to
eat. Now, while it is true that
very much depends on the wealth
er, yet it is equally true that good
clover hay may be made almost
any year. 1t is impossible, how
ever, to make good clover hay
without having two clear days in
succession unless you provide
yourself with water proof caps.
But say you have two fair days in
succession from the time you COM

be when about one-half of the

the better, as they hold more heat,

What a Farmer Boy Can Do.

There is farm boy in the town
of Phelps, New York, who is in
deed model of industry and is
bound to make a stirring citizen.
He is II years old. His father
died two years ago leaving a wife
and four children and mortgage
of 1,S00 on the farm. The boy
was the oldest of the children, and
the funeral was scarcely past be-
fore he set resolutely at work to
help the family out of their finan-
cial embarrassment. With the
advice of a kindly neighbor he has
since been the sole manager of the
farm of over ninety acres. He has,
with only a little assistance, plow-
ed the fields, sowed, cultivated and
reaped; he has had charge of a
large number of cattle and horses
upon the farm, he has managed a
a retail milk business and has
himself marketed all the farm
produce. Last summer he found
time, after his work in the fields,
to paint the house twice over and
to build five new fences. In the
winter he not only attends to the
necessary work about the farm,
but teaches a country school three
miles away, fells timber in the
woods on Saturday and writes
letters to the local newspapers.
The farm is not only out of debt
and in splendid condition, but the
lad and his mother have enough
money on hand to buy twenty
more acres of land this season.

The Happiest Boy.

Who is the happiest hoy you
know? Who has the best time?" I
mean. The one who last winter
had the biggest toboggan, or who
now has the most marbles, or wears
the best clothes? Let's see.
lQOnce there was a King who had
little boy whom he loved.
He gave him beautiful rooms to
live in, and pictures, and toys, and
books. He gave him a pony to
ride, and a roe boat On the lake,
and servants. He provided teach.
ers who were to give him knowledge
that would make him good and
great.
But for all this the young prince
was not happy. He wore frown
wherever he went, and was always
wishing for something he did not
have.
At length, one day, a magician
came to court. He saw the boy
and said to the king:
81 can make your boy happy.
But you must pay me my own
price for telling the secret"
well" said the king, "what
you ask I will give"
So the magician took the boy
into private room. He wrote
something with white substance
on a piece of paper. Next he
gave the boy candle, and told
him to light it, and hold it under
the paper, and then see what he
could read. Then he went away
and asked no price at all.
The boy did as he was told and
the white letters on the paper
turned into a beautiful blue.
They formed these words:
"Do kindness to some one
every day."
The prince made use of the
secret, and became the happiest
boy in the kingdom.-[Our Sunday
